Chapter 6
OoOoOoOoO
Miss Parker couldn't sleep that night. Every time she closed her eyes she saw terrible pictures of a hurt Trinity. And she couldn't stop her thoughts to wander away, what if they did hurt her? What if she would never see her again? She'd heard it on the news, all the time there were people missing, people who disappeared without a trace, what if Trinity was one of them?
Hours passed, and when she finally drifted into a restless sleep, the pictures she had imagined followed her into her dreams. Miss Parker woke up with a start. She was panting hard and her hair and face were covered with sweat.
In that moment her cell phone rang, making her jump. When she realized where the sound came from, she grabbed the phone and answered.
"What?" he voice trembled as she spoke, and she was still breathing hard.
"Are you alright?" the voice on the line sounded slightly concerned.
"Who is it?" Miss Parker was too edgy to think clearly.
"Lyle, are you sure you are alright?"
When Miss Parker realized who she was talking to, she tried to let go of her nightmare and concentrate on what her brother had to say. "Have you found anything?" she nearly whispered.
There was a silence. "I don't know yet. Maybe… I couldn't sleep, so I decided to do a little investigate…" Lyle started and suddenly Miss Parker realized Lyle had actually been up all night to help her find her daughter. Was it possible that he really cared? That he wanted to help her?
"The only thing with the name Tepicore that could match what we're looking for is an underground research corporation. But there is nothing that tells where it's located, nothing. Except the name, it seems like this place doesn't even exist," Lyle said.
Miss Parker sighed miserably.
"Hey, it's better than nothing," Lyle said surprisingly soft.
Miss Parker nodded as she was thinking, but then she sighed. "I'm never gonna get her back am I?" she said sadly.
"Don't say that Sis, it's going to be alright…"
Miss Parker didn't say anything. She just prayed Lyle was right.
"I'll let you sleep now, see you at the Centre tomorrow okay?" Lyle said.
"Yeah whatever…" Miss Parker mumbled tiredly. When Lyle hung up she continued holding the phone to her ear, just listening to the dial tone, staring blankly in front of her.
OoOoOoOoO
Next Morning
Tepicore.
OoOoOoOoO
Tyrell unlocked the door to Trinity's room. He went inside while one of his people was waiting outside the door in case the kid would do anything stupid.
"Good morning sunshine," he said waking Trinity from her sleep.
She stirred and crawled into a corner when she saw the blonde man staring down at her. She gave him a terrified look.
"I'm just gonna give you something to make you feel better kiddo," Tyrell walked up to the corner and knelt next to the child. He brought out a syringe from his pocket and injected the liquid into Trinity's arm. She whined as the needle hurt her.
"Good girl!" Tyrell smiled evilly as he got up on his feet and watched her for a while, and then he left the room.
He locked the door carefully, turning to the woman behind him.
"What exactly is it going to do to her?" the woman asked.
"Just change the way she sees things," Tyrell said shortly. When the woman still looked at him doubtfully he sighed. "Let's say she won't be the little princess mommy dearest thinks she is," he laughed. "She will be a hell of a kid!"
"How long will it take 'till she's changed?"
"Time will tell, Moana, stop asking questions and do your job." Tyrell snapped.
Moana sighed, brushing her black hair away from her face. "Fine," she said, walking away from her boss.
OoOoOoOoO
Weeks passed and Miss Parker and Lyle hadn't found anything that could lead to Tepicore and where Trinity was. Miss Parker was slowly loosing her mind, and Lyle was worried about her, though he didn't think she believed in his concern, it was actually true.
Sydney and Broots had heard the terrible news and Broots helped as much as could, tapping on his computer.
OoOoOoOoO
At Tepicore, Trinity was still locked up in her little room, and just as any other day, Tyrell came in to give her the daily injection.
Trinity wasn't afraid anymore, she was angry. She tried to hit the mans hand as it came closer to her, but Tyrell just grabbed her and kept her still. But the smile on his lips was satisfied as he realized his experiment was working.
"How are you doing today Trin?" he asked and Trinity glared at him.
"Oh, if looks could kill," he laughed.
"Let me out, I don't wanna be here," Trinity said and her voice sounded surprisingly cold. She ran up to Tyrell in full speed, attacking his legs. The man almost fell, but managed to regain his balance.
"LET ME OUT!" Trinity yelled.
"Not yet kiddo, you have to wait a little longer, then you can se your mom again," Tyrell said with a grin.
Trinity stared at him for a while. She blinked a couple of times as memories of her mother flashed through her mind. She closed her eyes, and after a while she slowly opened them again. Her icy blue eyes stared up at the blonde man.
"My mommy is evil," she said in a voice that could have frightened a grown up man. But Tyrell just smiled satisfied.
OoOoOoOoO
TBC.
